[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1652962, member: 24816"] The modern Herefords are just like the Angus calves as far as growth it takes a calf with some frame to grow and unfortunately both breeds seem to have breeders that promote small framed cattle. They look good and sound good but when marketed those calves are small and get fleshy instead of growing and then fleshing out. When selecting Hereford bulls I want a larger framed one then those calves will perform against any other. Unfortunately there are a lot of toads out there, that put out calves like you got a hold of and then it looks bad on the breed as whole to who ever has that experience. I had a set of Angus sired calves out mostly commercial black heifers born back in the spring. They looked good to me but weaned of fat and even without pushing them after weaning when they were sold they were docked because of lacking frame and being “fleshy”. [/QUOTE]
